JUST YOU AND ME, KID.....

COMING UP FOR AIR!

LAST WEEK my eyes were watering and it was then that I should have cranked up the Vitamin C.....but didn't.  I was SLOW to catch on that a gigantic cough was brewing in my future.  A hacking cough that would clean my plow as others like to say.

My plow is cleaned.  Next.  

OUR CHRISTMAS PLANS changed overnight as our company came down with the flu and went home.  I started coughing shortly after that and COUGH I DID.  

It's Saturday and I'm better, but still coughing.  Wearing me down.  DOWN.  Down.  Down.  

Sugar-free Cough Drops by the dozens.  
Naps and hot drinks. 
Emergen-C twice a day. 
Theraflu. 
DayQuil.  
Now an extra strength cough syrup with codeine.
Chicken Noodle Soup!  Homemade and organic.  Hubby made it.  Was the BEST!  

Hubby went to OUR HOMETOWN PHARMACY signing for the extra strength cough syrup.  VERTUSSIN AC.  No prescription needed from a doctor.  Wish I had had it four days ago.  This has been a whopper of a cough.  Crouppy.  

Hanging on for dear life trying to keep this thing from going into my chest.  Asthma aggravated and whirring growl.  I was successful and kept it out of my chest.  How on earth can a common cold nearly destroy a person?  It can and does sometimes. Staying strong goes out the window.  Prayers being sent up.

My dear Husband has been my doctor, nurse, cook and pamperer.  He has been a savior of sorts as I have been in need of assistance.  He has been wonderful to me.  

Coming up for air.  Breathing is a good thing.  The AIR QUALITY OUTSIDE is rated good today as it is raining.  I can breathe it in.  I can breathe as my nose isn't stuffy as of yet.  I'll keep taking the vitamin c and pray.  

I think my immune system is habitually weaker than it ought to be.  On week three of strong dose of Vitamin D.  2020 I prayerfully am going to work toward getting healthier through foods being a medicine.  No GMOs.  Organic foods especially fruits and vegetables.  Vitamins and minerals a plus.

I'm not sure how all feel about First Lady MELANIA TRUMP.  GOOD, BAD OR INDIFFERENT, but she does eat 7 servings of fruit a day.  It's easy enough to know what her secrets are as they are all over the net.

It doesn't take a millionaire to eat fruits and veggies.  Just do it.  Especially in the United States. 

A more thorough study on vitamins and minerals are in my future.  Including herbs and healthier eating.  For sure.   

BLESSINGS TO YOU 

and I hope you are staying well,

I'll Be Home For Christmas!

HELLO TUESDAY.  

Last Friday, HUBBY retired from his 20 plus career from the same company.  He was given a retirement party.  Somewhat emotional as we walked away for the day.  He had loaded his office belongings and desk.  The week-end was slow paced and quiet.

Christmas Eve and Hubby's 65th Birthday!!!  Today I need to go to ALDIs and get the best price for items to make FUDGE, Chocolate covered Pretzels and Peppermint Patties.  More than likely this will be all the sweets I will make this CHRISTMAS SEASON.  

Christmas cards are in the mail.  Christmas gifts taken care of.  Christmas music will be playing.  We'll be singing.  I believe we'll stay HOME from Candle Light Services.  Instead the Christmas Story will be read at HOME and we'll have a very quiet CHRISTMAS.

Met with a couple of friends for Monday's Lunch and exchanging Christmas gifts.  Pleasant conversations as if we hadn't been away from one another as long as we had.  Great GAL Friendships.

Baking a turkey on Christmas Day with the fixins.  We'll be slowing down and breathing in the sacred moments.

Think we will be staying HOME for CHRISTMAS.  READY.  Actually ready.

FLU BUG has touched our company so I'm not sure we'll be having company.  God bless them and God Bless you all.  I'm taking extra Vitamin C as I am coughing a bit too much.  Chest hurts.  Oops.  STAY WELL if you can.

I'll be HOME for CHRISTMAS....I am alright with this.

I LOVE SANTA CLAUS, I LOVE CHRISTMAS...and I still know the reason for the season!

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON.

Jesus.

Merry Christmas!

Each of these pictures stirs emotions in me.  

That saying that a picture is worth a thousand words comes to mind.

Merry Christmas and a very blessed day.

Slow down long enough to have peace,
